Strong variety genetics 🤝 #Revysol fungicide chemistry
At this very moment, wheat is creating ~£38/ha in yield EVERY DAY that its canopy is kept green
High septoria pressure example - KWS Extase, live from Herefordshire #RealResultsFarm
Untreated vs Revystar XE-based program
I’ve just had my first email encouraging me to prepare for Christmas 2022.
I enjoy the Christmas period but…
Behave
This guy 💙
For me, it’s what it’s all about. When trying for the best future, sometimes it’s good to be reminded to live in the moment.
…I should probably also remind him at some point that his mum’s not too bad either…🤪

Clear differences here in the longveity of different products on keeping #Septoria at bay, which in mid-june could be very difficult to seperate out. Extending that GLA duration key to capturing as much of that yield building sunlight as possible. @BASFcropUK
A good time to look at T1 comparisons at Great Tew #RealResultsFarm. Crops look full of potential
Septoria just starting to express on untreated leaf 2's? - one to watch with warming temps
T1 4 weeks ago, YR only in 2/32 varieties here - strong levels of fungicide control
Great to see @rebecca_joynt + @ChloeMo95 discuss @ADASGroup #Revysol and #RevystarXE research with 2 scientific papers at the International Symposium for Crop Protection
✅Highest curative activity
✅Increased healthy area duration+yield
✅Strongest genetics, strongest chemistry
I’ve really missed the buzz of discussion in trial plots, safety first 🙌
Explore 2020 learnings at 1 of the @BASFcropUK #RealResultsFarms, from a completely new perspective

A great chat with Dr Julie Smith @ADASGroup and Bill Angus, discussing varietal genetics, innovations, chemistry, and planning strategies for 2021 onwards.
"Chemistry protects genetics, and genetics protects chemistry"
Well worth a watch if you missed the original event 👍
Thank you to everyone who joined our #RealResultsVirtualFarm event last week, where our expert panel explored the value of genetics & fungicides.

Great to be able to get back out into trials very recently 🙌
Quick update from Great Tew - yellow rust has been a big challenge all season, but really strong levels of control achievable
Septoria levels now 💥 following the recent rain...Another year to test product longevity 👍
"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."
Here's to hoping that the skies stay blue 🙌🏻
The @FarmersWeekly write-up has only gone and hit the world news! 👏

Nice to be working with those exploring and measuring this ‘black box’. Key if future support payments depend on healthy soil functions

Prof Jenni Dungait @soilhealthexprt providing great knowledge transfer between the academic community and practical on-farm advice
Correct management of wet soils is crucial
Bespoke plants? Root traits? Carbon sequestration? Biodrainage?

Knowing how best to manage fungicide resistance 🌾 can be confusing. This handy slide shows:
✔️Add mixture partner
✔️Alternate actives
❌Increase dose
❌More sprays
❌Split dose
A common theme, and great banter between @22Ajw and @No1FarmerJake at the Shropshire #RealResultsRoadshow:
"Never be afraid to try something new"
2 Nuffield Scholars. 2 different experiences. 1 common goal
Hearing about and learning from the journies that local growers have taken never ceases to amaze me. Thank you @22Ajw + @No1FarmerJake @ Shropshire #RealResultsRoadshow 👏
✅Social interaction
✅IPM
✅Soil stewardship
✅Real time in-field monitoring
✅Scientifically robust trials

Jonathan focuses first on wheat: new product Revystar XE is very effective on Septoria tritici & brown rust, while Elatus Era is effective on brown rust. Against Fusarium Soleil & Proline are effective while SDHI/azoles showed good level of control on mildew #AgConf19
Geat to finally find a drilling window for the inaugural @BASFcropUK Oxfordshire #RealResults site 🙌
OSR was last grown in this field 7 years ago. #Harvest12 volunteers? Rogue seed off the combine during #Harvest19?
Either way, the non-CL variety due to be drilled in 2 weeks time is not the only variety that will be harvested from this field in #Harvest20
A big thank you to @RoryClark_ and @gaff1wiz for supporting our @BASFcropUK WOSR trial in Gloucestershire. There is some great new #CSFB mitigation agronomy being trialled on-farm this year 👍
